Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has reportedly been invited to attend the upcoming International Cricket Council (ICC) Board meeting and the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final in Ahmedabad later this month.
According to reports and sources familiar with the matter, the ICC is set to hold a fresh round of meetings to continue discussions on the future of the World Test Championship.
The Chief Executives Committee meeting is expected to take place virtually on May 21, while the in-person Board meeting is scheduled for May 30 and 31 in Ahmedabad.
The IPL 2026 final is also set to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on May 31, making it part of the same high-profile cricket window.
Under normal circumstances, the PCB chairman would be expected to attend the ICC Board meeting in person. However, uncertainty remains over whether Naqvi will travel, given the tense political climate between Pakistan and India and the strained relationship between the two cricket boards.
Sources said Naqvi has received invitations for both the ICC meeting and the IPL final, and has forwarded the matter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for a final decision. The prime minister is expected to decide whether the PCB chairman will travel to India for the events.
The meetings are part of the ICC’s regular quarterly schedule and were originally planned for March and April in Doha, but were postponed due to regional developments.
